juniper76: thanks! i totally agree. i had a look around again and before we even commit to any FS, the consultation fees are around $200 first round..wow thats a really big difference between $100 and $1200 out of pocket!

tasha: hi tasha, sorry bout the late reply! its ok. i hope everything will be fine for you and your dh. *fingers cross* i went in for a counselling session and to see the patient coordinator at monash ivf and found that information regarding to cost vary differently. because of your post, i rang MOIS and spoke to susan and she told me for the same services, it will cost $800 (will get 10% back fr medicare)! other out of pocket cost is $100 for counselling (non rebateable fr medicare). that means we will only be out of pocket of $820! i asked her the reason behind the dramatic price difference and she said its because they were a non profit organisation. everything else, including success rates are the same! wow! i am so glad i rang them instead of going ahead with monash ivf.
have you been through any cycles with them? i hope this price is not too good to be true! i havent heard of many people going through them. but $820 is more than 50% off other ivf places!
